Lovers and Dreamers

An exploration of the thin line between good sense and mindless sensuality, with side trips into art, fantasy and foolishness.

The artist’s experience lies so unbelievably close to the sexual, to its pain and its pleasure, that the two phenomena are really just different forms of one and the same longing and bliss

The Sensual Starfish: Pentimento

misterchu:

Slowly my troubles begin to melt from my heart like ice thawing in Spring. Tomorrow that report will scream again to be completed. Tomorrow it will matter that the floor needs to be mopped. Tonight it is enough to know that I am nothing more than stardust in an endless universe.

I’m sick of not having the courage to be an absolute nobody.

We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.
